Brighton manager Graham Potter thinks the 3-0 score-line in Wednesday's loss to Manchester United was 'harsh'.

It was Albion's second loss to United in five days, having gone down 3-2 at the AMEX on Saturday.

And Potter believes his side were close once again to the Premier League giants.

He said: "It was a tight game until the second goal, or Dean Henderson's save at 1-0 was key. Then they bring on Rashford and Pogba which made life difficult.

"The first goal is not a good one, we have to do better there, it's as simple as that.

"We were in the game, 3-0 is a bit harsh."
